Facing Desperation
The deeper I studied the document, the heavier the unease became. A chilling thought crept in—what if Mark knew more than he let on? The possibility gnawed at me, twisting my trust into suspicion. If he was complicit, the weight of it all shifted, turning the situation from messy to almost unbearable. Each line I read chipped away at my faith in him, and the ground beneath us began to feel dangerously unstable.

Mark’s Plea for Understanding
Sensing the distance growing between us, Mark tried to close the gap. “I just want you to understand,” he pleaded one morning, his eyes searching mine for reassurance I couldn’t give. I exhaled slowly, fighting the pull of my fading patience. “Then prove it,” I said, my tone sharper than I intended. Words alone no longer held value; I needed action, truth, evidence. Without it, the chasm between us would keep widening until nothing was left.
